Removing Serious Obstruction
Gently.

Dynamite and giant powder might answer
admirably to remove distractions from He'll
Gate in East River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever attended
with disastrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is there the slightest nece .sity
for so doing. On the contrary, it is most
unwise. None but the purblind adherents
of antiquated theories in medicine advise
or sanction such a course. To weaken the
intestines-the effect of drastic purgation-
is to compromise the health of the entire
system, With Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
on the other hand, the bowels are relaxed,
not by cOnvulsion of nature approximat-
ing to an eruption of Mt. PopOcatapetl, but
gradually, benefcially, without wrenching
or drenching. The liver and stomach, as
well as the bowels, are toned and benefited
by it.

SUNKEN VESSELS.
Description of the Process Employed
Raising Them.


Raising Them.
The dead weight of the vessel was set
down at 1000 tons, and she had on
board when sunk, cargo to the extent
of l, 400 tons. Some of the latter had
been lifted, but on the Otner hand it
was estimated that this had been more
than compensated by the silt that had
drifted in, so that the weight to be
raised was put down at 1,S00 tons. The
first steps were to set about making the
cables and to purchase four lifting
hulks. These were capable of raising
500 tons each, so that there was but 20O
tons left as a margin of safety; a factor,
however, which has necessarily often
very modest proportions in wrecking
operations. Two vessels are of iron, while
two are of wood. The ropes consisted
of flexible steel wire made into strops of
various lengths from two to twenty
fathoms, in order to facilitate opera
tions by giving greater case in
handling. The ropes are made of six
strands, each strand consisting of
thirty-seven steel wires. The lifting
ropes are passed round the wreck by
divers and see-sawed into the required
spot. The hulks are strengthened in
all directions by internal imbering. so
as to withstand the nip brought on
them when the wreck is being raised.
The outside of the hulks are protected
by wood packing faced with iron. The
blight of the main lifting ropes being
passed under the wreck are hitched
over the hulks by means of the strops,
the latter being secured by clamps.
The hulks in rising with the flood will
carry the wreck clear of the bottom.
Guided by couple of tugs the whole is
carried into shallow watsr.-EnJineer.
